Steps
Roman-style Gnocchi with Artichokes
Put the milk in a large pot and heat it with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
At the first boil, add the semolina in a rain and stir continuously to avoid lumps with a whisk for a few minutes until it has thickened.
Remove from heat, transfer the mixture into a bowl, add the butter, and mix until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Add the egg yolks, grated Parmesan, and mix to blend very well.
Pour the obtained dough onto a sheet of parchment paper, shape a cylinder about 2-2.5 inches in diameter, wrap it in the paper and let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, let’s prepare the seasoning.
Clean the artichokes by removing the harder outer leaves, cut them into small pieces, and put them in water and lemon to prevent them from darkening.
In a pan, brown a garlic clove, add the artichokes, salt, pepper, and cook them with a lid until they become soft.
(If you can’t find fresh artichokes, use frozen ones).
After the cooling time, take back the cylinder and slice it into slices 0.4 inches thick.
At this point, take a nice large baking dish and put some butter flakes on the bottom.
Start forming the layers starting with the gnocchi, cooked ham, grated cheese, and artichokes.
And so on until all the gnocchi are finished.
(You can substitute the cooked ham with speck or bacon).
Finish with plenty of Parmesan, pepper, and nutmeg and a few scattered butter flakes.
Baking in the oven. Bake in a preheated ventilated oven at 356°F for 20 minutes, to make them more golden you can raise the oven temperature a bit in the last few minutes and switch to the grill mode.
Cooking in the air fryer. Insert the tray in the air fryer and cook at 356°F for 12/15 minutes or until the surface of the gnocchi is golden brown
(Obviously, check every electric oven and fryer their times).
Your Roman-style gnocchi are ready, serve them hot.
Enjoy your meal.
